Sweater of Many Colors

The local craftstore here is filled with wools and yarns for the winter for some weeks now and I couldn't stand temptation any longer. I'm not really into knitting, because to make a really nice sweater usually takes longer than I like, but after seeing these cabinets full of wool in all colors I searched for a pattern for my littlest daughter (to be done sooner). And here it is, the first sweater of this year's season!

Zombie Brian

Another piece in Lalylala's Halloween Series is finished: Zombie Brian. Personally I like this one the most! Do you see his boney arm? Love this detail!


Besides the zombie, there's Frankenstein (see last week's post) and Diego Skull has yet to come. 
This is the whole series:

Frida Kahlo

This weekend I visited a friend, whom I've known for years since the time we were still studying and worked as caissieres in a supermarket for extra money. Nowadays we both have children and live in different cities, but we try to visit each other at least twice a year.  This year I only saw her once, last weekend to be precise, due to a new house and busy schedules in general. 
Besides the flowers, card and money for the new house, I gave her a handmade Frida Kahlo. Last year she saw another Frida I made for a friend and she almost begged me to make one for her, too, for her Christmas stocking, but only now I had the chance to give Frida to her.

Vlad the Vampire Bat

For Halloween I made the Lalylala Halloween Series (see here for Frankenstein, here for Zombie Brian and here for Diego Sugar Skull). Another pattern from Lalylala that I wanted to make for years, was Vlad the Vampire Bat.

Lalylala designed and wrote patterns for lots of dolls like this; same body, but different appearance. I think I will make the seahorse one day, too.

The Frida Kahlo that I made for my good friend Chrissy was featured by Strawberry Butterscotch and by Nifty Thrifty Things!


Thank you so much, Anna and Vanessa!
